“I have struggled with addiction. I have nothing to hide. I did do some class A drugs like cocaine and I did pills."

“I did a magic mushroom that I will never do again — that was probably one of the worst experiences,” she continued.

“The thing about me is there is actually a story behind me and my life. It’s not like, ‘Hi I’ve just turned up on X Factor’.

“I’ve been a musician my entire life and I’ve been through real experiences. I’m totally real, hardcore and I have experienced things that are real.”

The 35-year-old also described how she spent one entire summer smoking marijuana.

“There was a summer where I was going through a bit of a hard time and I ended up hanging out with people and, basically, we spent the whole time smoking weed,” she said.

“I ended up writing a song about the fact I spent that whole summer smoking pot. It isn’t a lie — basically it is actually true.”

Honey says she now still does weed socially from time to time, but wouldn’t touch Class A drugs again.

“I do not do Class A drugs any more. A pill, a bit of coke, I would not touch that nowadays. I was still doing a bit of coke but I don’t touch it now,” she said.

After Honey’s revelation ‘X Factor’ spokesman Rick Behari told The Sun: “We’ve spoken to Honey and she’s assured us she has not taken drugs while being on the show.”
